RUSTIC. SIMPLE. PURE.
I embarked on a quest to wear one dress for 100 days, exactly that many days ago. One of my goals was to dress more sustainably by building a capsule wardrobe around a single dress. I accomplished this goal and so many more. Here’s a list of 10 takeaways from this challenge.
This was day 2 of my 100-day dress challenge. One thing I quickly remembered was that I’m messy. So, an apron is necessary when spending any time in the kitchen if I want to keep my dress clean. Read on for more of what I learned!
After four years, I’m going to embark on a new adventure or, rather, continue an adventure I paused a few years ago. I’ll be rejoining the banking industry. After working as a college professor and writer for several years, my business casual wardrobe needed a refresh. In a desire to reduce my contributions to the fast fashion problem and to simplify my life, I’ll be creating a capsule wardrobe built around this merino wool dress for the next 100-days (notably, this is not a sponsored activity – it’s all on my dime).

Baking banana bread with brown sugar and walnuts is a great way to make use of ripe bananas. It yields two loaves and can be served warm out of the oven in about an hour. If you can’t eat both loaves within a week, it freezes well for enjoyment at a later date.

When you need to feed a crowd, this sheet pan pancake recipe is a great choice since it yields 10 servings. It’s also a great make ahead recipe, as the pancakes store and freeze well for enjoyment in the future.
A frittata is a versatile egg dish that can be modified to include the vegetables you have on hand. You can make this simple skillet frittata on your stovetop in 40 minutes or less. Plus, the leftovers from this stovetop frittata store well for a quick and easy meal later in the week.
